Mets closer Billy Wagner will have season-ending Tommy John surgery that will likely keep him out all of 2009 as well — something that has prompted suggestions that the 12-year veteran should just retire. According to the Fightin’s, some helpful reporter asked Wagner if his son was ready for him to retire, and Wagner’s response was, uncomfortably, “Boo hoo hoo.”

I’m sorry, but I just can’t approve of this show of emotion. Men just shouldn’t cry. I know I never do. Well, except when a hooker leaves. Or during eHarmony commercials. And that time I stubbed my toe.
